ENFOLDEDNESS OF HEALING

(Link to blog this lovely photo came from)

You soon find when you're treating people with complementary therapies like CranioSacral Therapy or energy work that no part of the body really operates on its own. Digestive system, nervous system, heart and lungs, everything operates as part of a whole. The same with the different aspects of the energy body, chakras, meridians, channels, aura, a disturbance in one area will show up in all the others. And you surely can't separate your own personal health from the health of the Earth, the water you drink, air you breath and the food you eat, which is why Ruth and I are putting so much of our energy into the health of the gardens and orchard here on the farm, thinking globally and acting locally, learning to live simpler more Earth-friendly lives. To me, ecology, permaculture, forest gardening are all aspects of healing.

Then remote healing groups like our Thursday Group show just how enfolded we can all be if we allow it. I feel the group's energies around me just as if we were occupying the same space, enfolded with the life force energies of the Earth and the universe.

 

Life support - natural wealth is the fundamental wealth

The idea, much promoted by politicians, corporations and run-of-the-mill economists, that they are creating wealth is bollocks. They talk of wealth as a financial thing but there is nothing of any financial value that does not come primarily from natural wealth. The pursuit of financial wealth in the "developed" world is leading to a devestated Earth. Our most important work is to regenerate natural wealth wherever we are. We live our human lives within a network of other life and our health depends on the diversity, abundance and health of that network.
Ruth and I are lucky in finding ourselves in a situation where we have been able to start this change in attitude and way of life living here on the farm. I know it doesn't seem so easy to go against the established flow when you are locked into the system to find money to pay the everyday bills. All the same, if we don't change our attitude to wealth individually and collectively it will only get harder and harder to avoid the destruction of the Earth's ability to support much life of any kind. Does your daily work regenerate or use up natural wealth? Is there any way you can regenerate a bit of waste land, grow some food, sow some flowers for the bees, do some random act of kindness for a stranger? There's loads you find you can do when you get started.

!! NEW !! Energy Healing Session on Sundays, 9 to 9.45pm.

I've decided to start hosting a new regular session on Sundays as well as our Thursday sessions. My instinct is to explore and develop our work on two paths: I'd like to focus the Sunday sessions on sending and receiving healing energy and building on our already amazing Energy Medicine work, and I'd like to focus the Thursday sessions more now on developing our psychic skills, exploring global consciousness and our evolution on Earth.  I know the two paths go in the same direction, it just feels right to explore and develop in both ways now. Our work has the potential to help so many people everywhere and deserves all the energy we can give it.
Love to all and see you in the ether xx

Thanks, Ushka, for putting me on to the work of Tomasz Alen Kopera - his website here

Therapy and Ecology - Bringing it All Together

Therapy and ecology aren't often grouped together but there's so much the two worlds can learn from each other. Therapists generally focus on treating their patients, they might include their patients' relationships with other people in sessions, but how can healing not include a patient's relationship with the environment, the Earth and all life? And permaculture, sustainable living and other eco-projects most often seem to fail because of personality clashes, where people don't understand the dynamics of their behaviour and interactions with other people in their patterns and roles, where some deep therapy could really help. So that's what this blog is all about, bringing the worlds of therapy and ecology together.
I've been exploring what people are doing on eco projects in the UK and Portugal for some years, writing about it all on Ian's Eco Blog. I was developing a separate site for my therapy and healing work then realised I was keeping the two worlds apart myself... So here's everything in one place. Ruth's got me interested in Biodynamics which you could say is about working with the energy of plants and their relationship with ourselves and the cosmos, a good example of bringing it all together.
